Markets in Torremolinos

Staying in Centro puts you within easy walking distance of the main markets and the seafront, making it the most practical base for a 09:00 start. The Hotel Miami is a characterful option close to the centre, while the Hotel Tropicana sits right on the beach on the Bajondillo strip.

If you prefer a quieter spot, La Carihuela is a short stroll from the centre and has a more relaxed, local feel, with plenty of good restaurants to round out your day after the markets.

All three of the town's markets are street markets. The largest is the Torremolinos Traditional Market at around 70 stalls, which is the one to aim for if you want the widest choice in a single visit. The other two are smaller and more specialised, one leaning towards clothing and accessories, the other towards antiques and second-hand books.

Between them the stalls cover fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat and poultry, flowers and plants, clothing and textiles, footwear and leather, jewellery and handicrafts.

Sunday is the busiest market day in Torremolinos, with all three markets trading at once. Thursday is the other day worth knowing, when two of the three set up. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday have no market of their own, so a midweek stay that misses Thursday means a short trip along the coast instead.

The Málaga province markets page shows what trades on each day in the surrounding towns. The Torremolinos tourism website covers local shopping more broadly.
